The Iroquois engage in a wide-ranging campaign…

1650 CE

The Iroquois engage in a wide-ranging campaign of conquest that is unmatched in Native American history.

As they attack northward, they also begin a major expansion to the west along the Great Lakes.

The powerful Neutral nation, numerically equal to the Iroquois but lacking European firearms, inhabit a territory in present southern Ontario ranging from the present-day Niagara Peninsula, westward to the Grand River valley.

The Iroquois, led by the Senecas, launch a strategy of stealth attacks on the Neutrals in 1650.
